I think they should make CFI candidates arm wrestle and beat the DPE. Put that in the ACS. Problem solved.

Just be thankful it wasn't worse....

We have interlocking TFRs from Maryland to Connecticut this weekend. It's really getting out of hand.

Okay. Vladimir Putin then. He's a member here. He doesn't post much and when he does it's with an accent.

I deposed a forensic expert in a fire loss case which occurred after a large shipment of charcoal was delivered. The expert said that the charcoal was exposed to atmospheric moisture, and that caused the charcoal to spontaneously combust. I said next time I start the grill, I'll be sure to...

Remember there's 18 USC 1001, "False Statements." Let's say you give a statement and make a misstatement. That could get you prosecuted. Although the statement has to be materially false, it's always material (unless you're a party official before a DC jury). Okay, you say, they'll never...

Can I subscribe to your newsletter?

If you replaced the word "engine" with "wing," it would be fairly accurate. Certainly better than the made-up stuff we normally get from the media. I can understand it. Sometimes at cruise, I look out at the wing and see the ground below. I think Bernoulli. I think Newton. I dismiss those...

and me!

Thanks, that's the information I needed. Not the information I wanted, but the information I needed.

Could you use RV antifreeze? The pink propylene glycol stuff.

Is there any way to put a 337 cowl on a 336? I am reaching the time when I won't be able to get insurance for a retract. The 336 is of interest to me, but I don't want to get one with overheating problems.

Here's an interesting take on the pipeline. Forward to about 10 minutes in.

Yes. Many of the tankers are in the clear. When you see the tankers in a racetrack, he assumes there are fighters nearby. He discussed the rolling codes for some .mil when showing the P8 Poseidon over the Baltic. It's amazing how many .mil and .gov aircraft are in the clear at any one time.

If you're interested in things like this, you can watch SITREP by MilSpecOpsMonkey on YT. Every other day or so he shows every military aircraft in the air around the world on Skyglass, which is like a 3D Flight Aware, and for many he goes through what their mission is, where they came from and...

What? Are you out of dilithium crystals?

... or F..K..something...

Exactly. UL gas has advantages to my engine for which I would pay a premium. How much of a premium? I'm not sure right now, but the market will provide an answer. It's almost like there's a hand, or something.

No experience with Garmin audio panels, but I have an 8000 in the Sundowner and a 450B in the 182. Both are excellent, with the 450B being better and more feature-rich. I have not gotten the spatial audio set up. The bluetooth works well.

If you don't intend to or can't uphold your side of the bargain, don't sign the agreement. This really bugs me. A company says it will offer a certain service, and they come up short. They don't care. If the price is $100, and I pay $90, they won't perform at all or demand the difference...
